The ionic gelation is a technique of microencapsulation by a reaction between a polymer solution and an ionic solution. This technique can protect the nutraceutical bioactive compounds. This study used the process of ionic gelation solution with sodium alginate in order to obtain a new product: a bioactive water from passion fruit microcapsules placed in the carbonated mineral water. The physical-chemical, microbiological stability, and migration of the bioactive compounds of microcapsule for water for 35 days at 5 ± 1 °C was verified. For the microcapsules, it was possible to verify that the levels of ascorbic acid and carotenoids decreased during the storage period, and phenols remained constant (p≤0,05). Microcapsules and water presented balance of the ascorbic acid, carotenoids and phenols levels (p≤0,05). This result indicates migration of the bioactive compounds of the microcapsule to water and consequently the bioactivation of carbonated mineral water.
